     Presentations:


     Cataloging Self-Published Items


     Presenters:  Nurhak Tuncer & Reed David


     Self-publishing has exploded in popularity in recent years.  From books to scores to audio and video recordings, self-published items have begun to make their way into libraries. Self-published items usually need original cataloging and can be challenging to catalog for a variety of reasons.  The presenters have conducted a nationwide survey, asking catalogers how they catalog self-published items and requested representative examples of the records they have created.  The presenters will report on their findings.


     


    Nurhak Tuncer is an Adjunct Librarian (Cataloger & Reference) at the City Colleges of Chicago’s Malcolm X College. She has a BA in clarinet performance from the State Conservatory of Turkey, an MA in music from the University of Northern Iowa, and an MLIS from Dominican University. Nurhak is member of Midwest Music Library Association's Cataloging and Metadata Committee.


     


    Reed David is a Cataloging Librarian at the University of Alaska Anchorage.  He was previously the Music Cataloging Librarian at the University of Montana and the Cataloging Librarian at Alaska Resources Library & Information Services.  Reed is a member of the Music Library Association's Cataloging and Metadata Committee and the International Association of Music Libraries' Cataloging Commission.


      


    The Treatment of False Memoirs in Cataloging Practice: Practical Concerns and Ethical Implications


     Presenter: Karen Snow


     False memoirs are, in essence, autobiographical works that are presented initially as nonfiction, but are proven to be entirely or partially fabricated. These works are described as nonfiction when they are cataloged initially, but when the controversy surrounding them comes to light, there is uncertainty about what, if anything, to do about the contents of the bibliographic record if the work is retained in the collection. If false memoirs are not weeded from the collection, what does and should happen to the bibliographic records for memoirs if they are found to be untruthful?
